"Woah what the fuck?" -me when seeing this

Nice to see a little update on their progress. Hurry up and finish your jungle maps soon and get them up on the workshop so they see it when evaluating!

So does that mean the Jungle/Pyro Update is coming soon?

Incoming video from VNN making speculations about the update.

well fuck me sideways and call me sally. This is going to be the theme update with the least cohesive theme of all times.

At least community modelers won't get shafted by having everyone simultaneously drop their assets to use valve's but damnit, we could have used this information earlier.

Unfortunately I've still got to clear two work projects this week so I can't drop everything and get a map in the workshop, but once the work stuff is done, it's full steam ahead on cp_antiquity and its assets.

Specifically, I'll make it a point to get those trees finished for those of you wanting to have more jungle optionis.

To be fair Mayann has been around since 2016 so at least there's some consistent jungle props and assets out there
I imagine Valve isn't releasing props early so they can ship a fully polished map and assets toghether, kind of a shame we can't use those assets in maps for the update tho

In the past Valve hasn't released a big TF2 summer update during the steam summer sale but within the period of a few weeks before and after the sale. The sale this year is June 22 to July 5, if the TF2 team decides to follow the trend and release the update outside of the sale I'm guessing probably wont be until early to mid July, I doubt we'll see the update next week.
